Palette Analysis
Values in Frank Tenney Johnson rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm and cool tones are held in careful balance - neither family dominates, creating tension and resolution simultaneously. Saturation is deliberately withheld - the beauty here lies in the near-monochromatic gradations rather than colour difference. The most saturated colour, #A28950, is reserved to 6.5% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 59 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. In the context of Frank Tenney Johnson's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
